building a legacy of leaders since 1980

The Hanover Association of Businesses began in 1980 with a focus on the betterment of our County. For over 20 years, this association worked to build community and speak for or against practices and decisions that affected our area businesses and land owners.

In 2002 the association merged with the Ashland/Hanover Chamber of Commerce. The Ashland/Hanover Chamber came with over 15 years of business community building service to our County. Together, these organizations took on a new, joined identity as the Hanover Association of Businesses and Chamber of Commerce. (We were HABCC for short, as many still remember.) The HABCC continued the mission of both organizations and has built a strong reputation in and around Hanover as a great association to partner with.

This rich history, this legacy of advocacy and community, is largely due to the amazing people who have led it over the years – our Legacy Leaders!
